Preparing for winter is going ahead full steam! In the past couple days we have purchased snowshoes and poles, a snowfence, and a ski rack for the car. You'd think there was a blizzard predicted any moment, but in truth, there is no snow around except on the high peaks. The picture of the snowstorm in our aspens was yesterday morning. By the time we got down to the main road - nothing... We truly have a micro-climate up here at our 8800 feet.
We had to drive the hour and a half to the nearest town that has some national stores to buy some of this stuff. Took advantage of the area to drive back through a part of the Black Canyon. What a breathtaking canyon it is - this picture does not do it justice.
Lastly, as we came back home yesterday, we realized we had new visitors. Three loose horses roaming around our community. We think they got out from the neighboring ranch and are probably safe back home now. Haven't seen them today. Mark got a great closeup photo - they were very friendly, obviously enjoying their great escape.
The pictures get better all the time! What a joyous thing to experience the seasonal changes, the animals...nature nature nature.
